Cremated in Moscow\u2014 United States-Brazilian Reciprocity.Losdom, Feb.5\u2014The Standard, in an editorial this morning, argues that there is a political object behind the American tariff which seeks lo drive Canada into a corner and inflict the greatest possible commercial injustice on her, hoping that the Canadians, worn oat by the struggle, will ask admittance to the United StatesT This, the paper declares, constitutes a weak point in Sir John Macdonald\u2019s otherwise statesmanlike action.Neither Sir John\u2019s nor the Opposition\u2019s proposals are likely to he endorsed by the Americans, but the former\u2019s is a dignified and patriotic scheme of which no Canadian or Englishman need be ashamed.An election willcompel Secretary Blaine and his Government to show their cards face upward and will thus serve a useful purpose.One thing is perfectly clear, America will never help Canada to get rid of her commercial embarrassments, unless Canada consents at the same time to surrender her political independence.The Times says :\u2014\u201cThe adoption of the McKinley Bill is hardly likely to lessen America\u2019s opposition to Sir John Macdonald\u2019s offer of reciprocity, hut the collapse of the tariff movement will weaken the forces of the American protectionists and incline them to a compromise.We doubt whether the question will he fought out at the elections on the broad issue of commercial luron.It is to be feared there will be an attempt to capture the vote on false pretences.It would he rash to speculate on tha verdict.We have no sympathy with the so-called National Policy, to which is ch&rgoable some of the Dominion s present difficulties.We are not more enamored of the p\u2019an of purchasing American sympathy by enacting differential duties against British trade- Paris, Feb.5\u2014While a train was proceeding yesterday from Irun, on the Spanish side of the frontier, to Hendage, a small French town, a run of only five minutes, a gentleman w1k> occupied a compartment in a first-class carriage was thrown from the train into the river and drowned.The assassin escaped.Berlin, Feb.5\u2014The Kreuz Ztitumj says that the resignation of Gen.Von Leszcynki as commander of the 9th army corps, is the outcome of correspondence in reference to his inviting Prince Bismarck and Count Herbert Bismarck to attend a regimental dinner/ In military circles it is related that Count Von Waldersee\u2019s fall was due to his adverse criticisms of Emperor William\u2019s leadership in the cavalry attack made during the autumn manœuvres of the army.Barcelona, Feb.5.\u2014The revolutionary spirit smouldering throughout flpain, nearly burst into flame in the city to-day.There was n peaceful demonstration in which a parade and speeches were the main feature {oing on in favour of the Republican lender, )on Nicolas Salmeron, Zallera\u2019s oo-worker in the propogation of Republican ideas, but naturally the crowds which were attracted by the procession became somewhat excited.This attitude of the populace seems to have alarmed the officer in cliarge of the troops of Mounted Gond armes, which had been detailed to maintain order, and In case of such emergency arising to suppress any revolutionary proceedings.In any case, the officer seems to have lost his head and ordered the Gend\u2019armcs to charge the crowd.They did so at a gallop, firing their pistols and carbines right and left.The result was that several Kersorsjvvere more or less dangerously wound-d, and a number of bullets from the Gen-d\u2019annes\u2019 weapons were flattened around the balcony and windows of the hotel from which Salmeron was speaking.The action of the Geud\u2019armes deeply enraged the people, hut the crowd seems to have dispersed without any open act of retaliation.It is understood that the Government will be asked to order an enquiry into the conduct of the officer in charge of the Gendarmes.Sulnicron\u2019s friends claim that the bullet marks around the window from which he spoke, show that the Gend\u2019kr.nes fried to shoot him.Moscow, Feb.0.\u2014A terrible fire occurred in an Orphan Asylum in this city last night.Thu building was burned to the ground and n oet horrible scenes were witnessed as the youthful inmates were being rescued.Nine Children were burned to death, and a number were seriously injured and their lives are despaired of.AMERICAN.Washington, Feby.5\u2014The Post announces that negotiations which have been in progress between the United States and Brazil, resulted last Saturday in the signing of an agreement (under the reciprocity clause of the new tariff law) by Secretary Blaine and Senor Mendonca, the Brazilian Minister.I\u2019ho agreement has been approved by President Harrison, aud the proclamation announcing the fact will probably he made public without delay.The agreement will go.into effect on the first day of January next.The Post adds that its understood similar agreements with Cuba aud Venezuela are being promoted.Chicago, Feb.5\u2014The Ways and Means Committee of the National Columbian Exhibition has decided to ask Congress to appropriate $5,000,000 in aid of the World\u2019s Fair.The matter will he laid over for the next Congress.Elmira, N.Y., Feb.5\u2014Lucy Smith, a five-year-old daughter of Lyman Smith, residing near this city, upset u stove yesterday while playing.While the coals from the stove roasted ner lower limbs, a kettle of hot water w\u2019hich was capsized scalded the upper part of her body.She\u2019died in great agony to-day.\u201cILLUSTRATED QUEBEC.\u201d Napoleon\u2019s Chief Flatterers.THE SERVILITY OF DEPENDENT PRINCES.[The nature of Napoleon\u2019s reception at Erfurt is thus described by Talleyrand, in his Memoirs in The Century.] The Emperor entered Erfurt on the 27th of September, 1808, at ten in the morning.An immense crowd had filled the avenues leading to his palace since the day before.Every one wanted to see, to conic near the man wdio dispensed everything\u2014thrones, misery, fears, and hopes.The three men on whom Inost praise has been lavished oh this earth are ^ Augustus, Louis XIV., and Napoleon.DfflVrent epochs and different talents have varied the wording of these eulogies, but, intrinsically, it is always the same thing.My post as Grand Chamberlain enabling me to have a closer view of the homages, he they forced, feigned, or even sin cere, w hich were paid to Napoleon, gave them in my eyes w'hat I might call monstrous proas.Servility never displayed so much ion ; it suggested the idea of giving »n the very ground where the Empen portions.Servility never dis invention hunt on the very ground where the Kmperor had won the famous battle of Jena.A butchery of boars and wild game was prepared there to recall to the eyes of the victor the exploits of that batlie.It has often been forced upon me that the more people had cause to vow vengeance against the Emperor, the more they smiled at his gopd fortune, and applauded that high destiny which they said W'as the gift of ^leaven.I am inedined to believe\u2014and the idea came to my mind at Erfurt\u2014that there are secrets of flattery that are known to none hut those princes who, without leaving tlieir thrones, have submitted to au ever-menacing protectorate ; and they know how to make the most skillful use of these secrets w hen they happen to he near the power that dominates them and that is capable of crushing them.Get your carpets now while S.Carsley\u2019s cheap sale is going on, and you are sure of

trainmen and brakesmen arc also interested, and all demand higher wages mi the ground that the prosperity of the Company warrants it.A message has been sent by the men to Mr.Van Horne, asking for an interview, hut they have not yet received an answer.The men disclaim any idea of injuring the Company, but they have an efficient organization if a strike is ordered.This, however, is improbable.The deputation of C.P.R.trainmen Were closeted with Mr.Van Horne, the President, until after 11 o\u2019clock to-night.They refuse to divulge the result, hut it is understood Mr.Van Horne declined to entertain their proposals and a strike may ensue.Archbishop Fabre will arrive home next Tuesday morning via New York.He will be met at the Grand Trunk Station by the representative clergy and laity of

sent to the Contagious Disease Hospital.There it seems she, when on the point of recovery, was burned, and although at first expected to recover, she died a few days after the accident.The Ladies of the Orphans Home were not informed of the accident until after the girl\u2019s death, when they reported the matter to the Protestant Hospital Board, and asked that a thorough investigation be made.Accordingly a Committee was appointed, and this Committee reported to the Hospital Board on Tuesday afternoon.They relieved the officials from all blame in the matter, reporting the occurrence to he entirely accidental ami partly the child\u2019s fault.She bad, it seems, opened the door of a wood stove, when her clothes caught fire, burning her about the hips.The lumber shipments from Ottawa

PUTATIVE WIFE ALIMONY.Paris, Feby.4\u2014The following interesting suit came before the Civil Tribunal to-day : The plaintiff, M.Verhye, formerly French Consul at Chicago, asked the Court to invalidate his marriage oontr&ct in the United States on the ground that the lady was the lawful wife of another man.The lady brought a counter action for alitnouy.In 1871, Mrs.Adele Seymour, nee Young* a widow, was married in London to MV Borgella, who was obliged to leave France on account of his connection with the Commune.Soon after the marriage the Borgell&s crossed the Atlantic and settled in Chicago, where three children w ere born-to them.In' 1881, after the amnesty of political offenders, M.Borgella abandoned his family and returned to hVance.Mme.Borgella tried to trace his whereabouts, ami while so engaged she became acquainted with M.Verhye.In 1886 the lady, who had by that time given upall hope of finding her husband, obtained-» divorce from him on the ground of desertion and married the Consul.^Tni* union was unfortunate, and within six months M.Verhye hail bolted and was appointed to some poet in China.During the voyage he wrote to his wife, informing her that he would never return to her.The plaintiff's counsel contended that his clieut\u2019s marriage was bigamous and invalid, as a divorce procured in Chicago between two French subjects was not good in French law.The Court decided that Mme.Verhye became a French subject by her marriage with M.Borgella ; therefore the American Court hail no jurisdiction and her divorce from him was accordingly invalid and her marriage with Mr.Veroye was accordingly bigamous aud void, hut as the lady acted in good faith it must he considered a putative marriage, aud therefore M.Verhye, although released from his wife, must make her an allowance of 6,000 francs per annum.A friend having written to Signor Verdi saying he was unable to resist the temptation of writing to ask how the new opera f/oG was

States, when be Kyavrrcd of the position of affairs, insisted that tho negotiations should bo carried on separately.He intimated, howe^cV, that he would not be unwilling Lo enter into negotiations with Canada, but preferred thAt they should be private and unofficial.The Dominion Government thereupon asked tho Imperial authorities, to remind Mr.BLAiNEthatCan-nda had always been ready for a fair reci procal arrangement and bad made repeated offers to that effect, which, however', had been ignored or refused by the United States.It was further represented that the Dominion Government was willing, now that, overtures had been made to them, to again negotiate* nn'J that they would prefer that these negotiations should be official and under a commission from the British Government.\u201c Mr.Blaine thereupon asked upon what basis the Dominion Government proposed to negotiate.The despatch above is tho reply which the Administration of Sir John Macdonald caused to be sent to Lord Knutsford for transmission to Washington.This is the whole story.\u201d The course of the Government will be applauded and approved by tho people of Canada.It shows that Sir John is willhig to go a good distance tu secure certain tariff changes, but he is not unpatriotic enough to give everything for nothing.He wants to meet the United States fhirly and squarely, but hé will not have a jug-handled arrangement.As the Toronto Empire remarks :\u2014\u2022 \u201c The uosition ofthe Government of Canada we take to be this, that in any measure'df reciprocity we must conridet the changed conditions that haVe grown up since the abrogation oî the Treaty of 1854, and that CAftada, while ready and .anxious to extend trade in mutually beneficial lines, must stand firmly by her national industries and carefully conserve her industrial system.There is no reason why a fair and honorable reciprocity Advantageous to both Canada and the United States should not be the issue of such a discussion As is proposed.We believe that the people of Canada will endorse our Government in the policy it has been pursuing, and will strengthen its hands in the attempt to secure a fair treaty, without that absolute surrender of our commercial avstom which is necessarily involved in the Opposition nolieyj ftith its declared intention 0! Veducing Canada to a XteVc of vassalage in subjection to the United States, of discriminating against the trade of the Empire and forcing us into direct taxation.No Government would dare make such a proposition, no Parliament would sanction it, and the present proposal, which v expresses an earnest desire on the part of Canada for fuller tfado relations without the surrender of Our interests, is the only one that could be made with honor and with safety.But the proposal now made deals not only with reciprocity in trade, but extends to other subjects that are equally capable of an honorable arrangement, such, for instance, as the Atlantic fisheries dispute, where, in return for a free market for Canadian fish, Canada has equally valuable privileges that have been wisely and firm-« ly guarded by our Administration in the teeth of Opposition criticism, and are now seen to be of vital importance in the settlement of the dispute.Tho other subjects to be dealt with are also matters susceptible of a mutually advantageous international agreement, and are wisely brought forward at the present time.\u201d Tho treaty of 1864, our readers trill remember, was a treaty in natural products only.Since then, business has changed a good deal, and we arc face to face with quite a different order of circumstances, now-a-days.In 1854, both countries were quite satisfied with a tariff, which allowed the following articles to pass free between the two countries :\u2014Grain, flour, and breadstuff» of all kinds, animals of all kinds, fresh, smoked and salted meats, cotton, wool,\u2019 seeds and vegetables, undried fruits, dried fruits, fish of all kinds, products of fish and of all other creatures living in the water ; poultry, eggs, hides, fur skins or tails undressed^stone or marble in its crude or unwrought state, slate, butter, cheese, tallow, lard, horns, hianures, ores of metals of all kinds, coal, pitch, tar, turpentine* Ashes, timber and lumber of all kinds, round, hewed and sawed, unmanufactured in whole or in part, firewood, plants, shrubs .tficl trees, pelts, wool, fish, oil, rice, broom corn and bark, gypsum, ground or unground, hewn or wrought or un wrought burr or grind stones, dye stuffs, flax, hemp and tow, unmanufactured, rags, and unmanufactured tobacco., The proposals made in the new treaty, are far more liberal than those of the old arrangement, as our readers will note at a glance.Disastrous Fire at LeiiRoxvillc.HE TALK# FREELY TO THE CHRONICLE'S \u201d CORRESPONDENT.FAVORS RESTRICTED RECIPROCITY.Speaks of His Own Intentions and of the Behring's Sea and \u201cSayward\u201d Matters.He Will Die on the 7th.(Seattle Pott Intelligencer.)

and was bound to carry to a successful termination.This is a bright recortl as compared with the hundreds of millions sterling of British capital sunk in Turkey, Peru, the Argentine Confederation, and other Foreign States and it should also be borne in mind that it is to the spirit and enterprise of the Government of tho Province of Quebec that wc are mainly indebted for the construction of the Canailian Pacific Railway, that Government having oonstructctl the line of railway from Quebec to Montreal by the north shore of the St.Lawrence, and front Montreal to Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion.To Err Is Human.( New York- Sun.)

and so after a little more than two years here, to our great regret he left us for Toronto.The remaining; 33 years of hU life were spent in that Diocese, the last twelve, years of the Greatest happiness and usefulness, at ftirt erry, a small but picturesque town, chafm-ingly situated on Lake Scngog, some thirty miles east of Toronto.\t.He was most conscientious and painstaking in his care for the instruction of the young, especially in his preparation of candniâtes for confirmation.It is well known, through his speeches in the Synod of Toronto and his letters in the newspapers, how earnest and persistent be was in his efforts to awaken all religious persons both inside and outside the Church to the necessity, if our country was to be sa veil from moral and religious ruin, of all the religious bodies uniting in systematic cally giving such religious instruction in the common schools of the country as ail gould agree upon and as the law allowed.He had himself arranged, in concert with the other resident ministers, such a course for the schools of Port Perry.But it was in the pulpit that he shone most brilliantly.His written sermons were masterpieces.1 he public appreciation of them was shown by the demand for the publication of a volume of his discourses 30 yaars ago, when he was yet but a voung preacher.These admirable discourses', edited by the writer, saw the light in 1860.His written sermons, however, were apt to soar above the capacity of ordinary bearers» but his extemporaneous addresses (anto\tgive him- self up.Ife had committed sq many crimes that the Government thought he ought to suffer the penalty of death.In a proclamation offering full pardon to all dacoits who surrendered, Yan Yun had been distinctly excepted from the benefits of this act of clemency.The Government was in a quandary, therefore.The officer was informed very plainly that he had no right whatever to hold out hopes to Yan Yun.But upon the strength or this letter Yan Yun had voluntarily surrendered, anff it was thought it wopld be unwise to execute him untler t^le circumstances.The matter was referred to the Judicial Commissioner who «lecided that Yan Yun could not be put to death, but should be sentenced to life imprisonment.\u2014New York Sun.Sleighing in London.Sleighing ji) Londqq js rji|rious enough to be chronicled.*\u2019 Two'years ago,9 writes a correspondent, \u201cI was planning a tiger-shoot with a certain sporting captain of my acquaintance on the club step in Hong Kong.A year ago I met him again in another part of the world, and we spent an afternoon casting bullets for an elephant rifle in the mess kitchen.To-day I ran against him in Picca dilly.\u201cCome and have a bit of sleighing,\u201d said he.So we hunted up his home-made sleigh, persuaded Withers, who had mis-ivings, to let us have a horse, and then we hd a rattling drive about town.In Regent\u2019s 'ark the going was perfect, and Portland place was as goofl as the Boston niilldam.But the comments of the street boys and the sweepers were the best part of it.\u2018Hi, ^ijl, see tbq Roosiqn coves !\u2019 said one.\u2018Are ye injiying it?\u201d inquired another, as >vo bumped over the stones.\u2018Good, old North pole 1\u2019 said a sympathizing \u2019bifli-driver.And when we nearly ran into a cabman he remarked severely : \" Now, then, just remember yer ain\u2019t inSwiUerland !\u2019 But it is good to get such a reminder that old-fashioned winter had not quite left us for good.\u201d Yachting has become so popular with Frenchmen that a club has been formed in Paris to develop the pastime on an equal footing with yachting in England and the United States- The \u201cComité du Yacht Fran- Sais,\u201d presided over by Vice Admiral Julien e la Gravière, will especially encourage the building of smart racing boats, aud has offered a \u201cFrench Cup\u201d for an international race, to be conteste»! iu Gallic waters during tho summer of 1892.However, the title \u201cyacht\u201d is disliked as \u201ctoo English,\u201d and as the French language contains no parallel term, it is proposed to Gallicise the word into \u201cyaute\u201d and \u201cyautingue.\u201d Dew He for Piano Ameiy, Gavotte.Eilenberg.40c Love\u2019s Dream After tho Ball.Czibulka.60c 4«\t
